Information That can Help you Stop Foot, Ankle and Heel Pain

Treating Heel Pain

Heel pain can be aggravating and discouraging. If your heel is causing you problems, then you will want to watch this video by Wayne foot doctor, Dr. Bruce D. Calligaro.

Dr. Calligaro’s office, Wayne Foot and Ankle Center, frequently helps patients who are dealing with heel pain. In fact, the office even has a Heel Pain Center for Excellence.

If you are a patient experiencing heel pain, there are some things you need to know about your visit at Wayne Foot and Ankle Center. A complete history will be taken and a diagnostic ultrasound (where a picture is taken of the affected area) will be conducted. But that’s not all. You may also be given a local anesthetic and a steroid to help calm the heel down.

In addition, your foot may be taped and an air heel provided, which goes in your shoes. Sometimes a night splint is used to keep the foot up, so you have less pain in the morning. The purpose of all of these treatments is to give you greater comfort.
